Eating calories not eaten from the day before?

Hey everyone,

So yesterday I fell asleep before eating dinner so I was under by ~600 calories. Today all day I've been having major cravings. Should I eat over my calories today to make up the 600 I was under yesterday in an attempt to help curb the cravings? I'm very focused on losing slowly and I'd still be at the deficit at the end of the week.

Thanks!

    I do a weekly deficit just for this reason, and because I prefer to bank for the weekends.

    Sometimes I do. Maybe not all of it. Or you can spread it out over a couple days. Or not eat it back at all.
